Mikan Tachibana

Mikan Tachibana woke up in the fallen world of Ookina. She was immediately greeted by the friendly face of a former companion, Ikaika Kama. That was the day she learned the fate of her world and the outcome of the Great Machine War. Along with it came the realization that everyone else had passed away, including her family. It was a traumatizing day. That was then.

This is now. Mikan's pulled herself together, turning her attention to the stars. Sailing across the night sky with Ikaika, she focuses her attention on keeping their ship in good condition and learning as much as she can about the worlds they encounter. Even the Blue Star itself is a mystery to her mechanical mind, but it's a challenge she invites alongside all of the others the two have encountered.

Mikan is an engineer. And if Ookina were still in its glory days she'd tell you she wasn't just any engineer, but a daughter of the Tachibana family. What did that mean? It meant she had a mind unlike any other, one that was geared toward building and fixing. And along with it came an insatiable curiosity about technology she didn't understand. As such, Mikan kind of specializes in whipping up new inventions on the spot, repairing things that have broken down, and studying foreign technology so she can reverse engineer it in her own way.

Most would assume that Mikan's just around to keep Ikaika's ship in good shape, but there's a little more to it than that. Ikaika often finds that her common sense is a bit. . . lacking, so Mikan has to step up to the plate and remind her from time to time that certain things just don't make sense. And more often than not, she's got a plan already figured out for Ika that'll go over a bit more smoothly. Of course, Mikan's words fall on deaf ears half of the time and she ends up having to help clean up the mess because of it.

Appearance
Mikan is a seventeen year old girl who stands at five-foot-eight, has an average build, light skin, blue eyes, and loose orange hair that goes past her shoulders. More often than not it's pulled back into a ponytail. She often wears tank tops and jackets, a pair of work gloves, thick work pants and switches off between steel-toed boots and flip flops. On her left shoulder is a tattoo of a gear.
